UPDATE: Supergirl ditches the skirt for new season 5 costume

July 16, 2019 by Gary Collinson

Kara Danvers is set to update her wardrobe in the upcoming fifth season of the CW’s DC superhero show Supergirl, with actress Melissa Benoist unveiling a first look at her new costume, which ditches the miniskirt and tights in favour of new blue pants. Check it out here…

“We’ve been talking about pants since season 1,” Benoist tells EW with regards to the costume revamp. “Every time a writer from the show has come up, and it’s freezing cold in Vancouver, I’m like, ‘Guys, please can I not wear tights?’ I love [Kara’s old costume]. I haven’t changed it because it so works, and I think it is very Kara. I’ve always felt that — until recently, I’m like, ‘Something’s gotta give…’ I just think it’s more adult. Part of my goal in this whole series for whenever the show ends, I just want there to be a very clear arc for this character that she evolved as a woman and found her femininity and her adulthood, just a self-discovery.”

“A lot of us were passionate about getting Supergirl into pants and out of the short skirt, and we felt like that would be a powerful move, and Melissa is really excited about it,” added co-showrunner Jessica Queller. “So we just had to find the right moment to design the suit and in between seasons gave us a chance. But this is something we’ve been thinking about for a while.”

What do you make of Supergirl’s new look? Let us know in the comments below or tweet us @FlickeringMyth…
